I don't know how Pat Robertson expects high school teens to "entice" their gay friends to a heterosexual lifestyle.

QUESTION: My high school has all these different programs that support homosexuals. I recently found out that one of my close friends was a homosexual, so I attended some events with him just to show him he’s still my friend. Is this going too far? How do I show him he’s still my friend without making him think I approve of his lifestyle?

ANSWER: If you go to those homosexual events, then you are approving of his lifestyle and thinking it’s okay. The Bible says, “Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” We as Christians always want to be nice to people, “Well, I don’t offend him. It might hurt my witness,” and all this stuff. Well, I’m sorry. The Bible says, “Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” If you go to these places, the next thing you know, you will be enticed into their lifestyle instead of him being enticed to yours. I would strongly advise against it. If you have to go get another friend or other friends, do so. It’s a pity. I would certainly pray for him, but I just don’t think I’d go into that game.

If Pat Robertson had enough spiritual honesty and integrity to apply this answer to the lifestyle of divorce, the world would be a lonely place.

QUESTION: Dear Pat, my best friend's parents live a heterosexual lifestyle of divorce. I went to his house the other day just to let him know he's still my friend. Is this going too far?

ANSWER: You should run away from them people as fast as you can. Jesus says divorce is adultery plain as day in the Bible. In Mathew 19:9, Jesus says, "And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery." Listen, boy, don't go a covorting with the Devil at that boy's house again. We'll send someone over right away to burn these witches out of life and home.
